There really is no hurry to colonise space. But there /is/ a fairly pressing need to manage the population right here. And, fuck me, if you really want more space, we&#39;ve done a lot less in the ocean.<br /><br />This is all quite irrelevant because any alien species bumping into man outside his home planet and subsequently finding a single xkcd comic in any human cultural archive will immediately destroy every last earth-borne organism across the galaxy.
